Abstract

The phase diagram of a spin-1/2 model is investigated by means of exact diagonalizations on finite samples. This model is a generalization of the model on the square lattice with two different nearest-neighbor couplings and may be also viewed as an array of coupled Heisenberg chains. The results suggest that the resonnating valence bond state predicted by Nersesyan and Tsvelik [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 67}, 024422 (2003)] for is realized and extends beyond the limit of small interchain coupling along a curve nearly coincident with the line where the energy per spin is maximum. This line is likely bordered on both side by a columnar dimer long range order. This columnar order could extends for which correspond to the model.
